A ticket from a good airline consolidator for an around-the-world ticket with four or five stops should cost you about $1800. Medications in India generally cost about four percent (yes, that’s not a misprint) of what they cost in America. You can buy a few beautiful hand-tailored suits there, as well, and maybe spend a few weeks in Rajasthan at some palace hotels for far less than a Holiday Inn in New Jersey. Then you can fly on to Bangkok for some elective surgery in a luxurious hospital, like Bumrungrad, for twenty-five percent of the price in the United States and have your mouth redone at a Chinese dentist while you’re at it. Then you can fly down to Bali for a couple of months to kick back and add up your savings for the winter while sipping on a mango milkshake. This isn’t pie in the sky. I’ve done it many a time.
